<p>Dear NRHC Family,</p>

<p>We are thrilled by all the ways God is moving in and through NRHC right now. 
January was a huge month for us, and February got off to a great start with Jay 
Wright casting vision for The Village Church. We are honored to serve as the 
sending/sponsoring church for The Village, and we believe God will use them to 
make disciples who change the world in some of the hard to reach places of our city. 
Pray for Jay and for the team that God brings together as they prepare to launch.</p>

<p>This upcoming weekend is an exciting one in the life of our church. Revolution 
Weekend, our annual, in-town discipleship retreat for students, will be taking place, 
and we are anticipating God doing great things in our students lives. As of this 
moment over 70 middle and high school students are registered for the weekend! 
In our staff meeting yesterday, we spent a lot of time praying specifically for this 
weekend. Here is how you can join us in praying:</p>

<ul>
<li><strong>For students:</strong> Pray that students who don't know Jesus would trust Him as 
Savior this weekend. Pray for students who have turned away from Jesus 
to repent of their sin and begin pursuing Him again. Pray for students who 
are passionately following Jesus to be encouraged in their faith and in their 
desire to be missionaries on their campuses.</li>

<li><strong>For leaders:</strong> Pray for God to use our leaders to shepherd and care for their 
students well. Pray for God to speak through them and give them wisdom in 
helping students take steps in their faith.</li>

<li><strong>For our speaker and worship leader:</strong> Pray for God to use Matt Rogers to 
speak truth to our students in a clear and compelling way. Pray for God to 
use worship leader Brad Hudson and his band to lead students to Jesus in 
worship through music.</li>

<li><strong>For host homes, volunteers, and others involved:</strong> Pray that they would 
know how vital they are and see how God will use them to impact students. 
Also pray for them to have the energy they need to serve well. Pray for them 
to be encouraged as they serve.</li>
</ul>

<p>On Sunday morning, you'll see students, leaders, and others involved in Revolution 
Weekend serving in various ways and worshiping in both services. It's going to be a 
great celebration!</p>

<p>Also, <strong>this Sunday we launch a new series, Exploring Mark.</strong> In this series, we're 
going to walk through several snapshots of redemption in the Gospel of Mark where 
people came face-to-face with Jesus and were changed by Him. As we study these 
stories, our prayer is that we would come face to face with Jesus and rediscover who</p>

<p>He is and what He has accomplished for us. It's going to be a powerful series; invite 
friends and join us Sunday at 9:30 or 11:00 am.</p>

<p>These are exciting days at NRHC! I can't wait to see you and worship with you 
again on Sunday.</p>

<p>Until All Hear,<br> Jay</p>
